We'll never know the truth unless a Mothershop lands on the whitehouse lawn and an alien steps out wanting to talk to the President. UFOs are used as cover for black projects, doesn't mean all UFO cases are fabricated by the government, but a lot are.

Giant squid are huge, the size of a school bus. They're extinct or nearly so, right? Impossible to film. Never before seen in their natural habitat? Turns out, there are tens of millions of giant squid in the oceans, plenty enough to support the current Sperm Whale population. Only a few years ago (literally, like 2024) we thought them near extinction, and had never filmed a live one except under extremely unusual accidental conditions or the few washed up on beaches or caught stuck to the mouth of a whale mid-meal. Now we can film them any time we want. The secret? Changing the light used to film the deep. This is an analogous situation to sasquatch, just in case you were wondering why I'm talking about giant squid.

The threats against whistleblowers and even the outbreak of missing and assumed deceased scientists is grist for the mill about how national security will continue to be used to cover up black box programs and funds, we can only hope the gold bars at Ft Knox haven't flown the coop already. Family of potential whistle blowers are now threatened and false charges used to wreck careers so the stories about BF researchers having home invasions and computers snatched in the past is totally believable. Mr. Gold's comments on the paranormal are as normal as remote viewing now.

I have not seen this film, and will not, but I will speculate about it within the overall history of sasquatchery since 1955 (the Jerry Crew event). Firstly, it is most similar to the Greg Long book thus far. Long's book was an immediate hit with the skeptic community, and it became their bible. Since its publication, it rose quickly in prominence, but since has been roundly considered a hoax in and of itself among all who give it any measure of honest consideration. The skeptic community still tries to defend it amongst themselves, but appear to be True Believers by many, and the scientific community pretty much ignores them. Indeed, there is increasing interest in the phenomenon by the scientific community, especially the DNA field, and this probably frightens the skeptic community. Secondly, the commercial side of sasquatchery is exploding. Cartoonish and AI sasquatches are all over YouTube and commercial products. My grandson bought me Bigfoot shampoo and hair conditioner for my birthday last fall. It's nuts. My family buys me Bigfoot T-shirts all the time. If sasquatches exist or not in biology, they clearly exist in fantasy and imaginations BIG TIME, and it's growing. This alone is crushing the skeptic religion. They're done in the short term regardless of "discovery". That's the primary reason why I speculate that this film is desperation, and may even be the reason why they produced it. They know they're on the ropes.

CallyCat I'm very sorry to learn about your medical condition and I pray for your healing. You said, "Many years ago, I went to Selma, Alabama to investigate a giant skeleton on display in a restaurant that was supposedly Cheif Tuscaloosa. For those who aren't familiar, Cheif Tuscaloosa was documented by the Spanish to be over 8 feet tall. I suspected that this skeleton wasn't human or some historic Indian Chief, so I went on down to Selma to check it out. The owner of the restaurant provided the documentation from the US government that the skeleton was over 7 feet tall. They took that skeleton for further study, but what they returned was obviously a human skeleton typical of what you would find in an anatomy class in school. I measured the skeleton and it was only slightly taller than me. These medical school skeletons can sometimes be a conglomeration of bones from different people. I took a toe bone for DNA analysis but after talking to a well-known geneticist we decided it wasn't worth the effort to do DNA testing based on what I found." I have read your reply several times and your comments are interesting but some inferences are confusing or need more definition. You mention that the Indian chief's skeleton was over 8' tall as documented by the Spanish. Do you think it wasn't human. If it wasn't human then do you believe it was a bigfoot skeleton or what do you believe? Then later the skeleton was replaced by a shorter human size skeleton. Can you clear this summary up and get well in the name of God.

7’6” 1000 lbs What would something 8’6” tall weigh or could lift?

Long time since I've been on here, so I jumped on this am after seeing this article floating around on Reddit. Does anyone know someone that was in attendance? Any ideas how the community is going to react? For me personally knowing Bob it bothers me a bit but at the end of the day what does it look like if the PG Film gets gutted as a pillar of proof for so many? On our radio show, I called it last year in our year in review that the fate of the bigfoot community will stand in their ability to adapt to coming change. The change may be here, and it's not the DNA project that's been slow moving, it's a pillar being shook that many have held onto as the foundation of proof for what they think is out there. The world is far stranger than we understand, there is more out there than we can see with out own two eyes. In my opinion, the truth of the Sasquatch rests within the First Nations stories and not in some dusty film canister from 1967. What's the general here consensus at the moment? https://www.austinchronicle.com/screens/sxsw-film-review-capturing-bigfoot/?fbclid=IwY2xjawQg6ZtleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFoNHhyTTJiamNYcWxZRjVYc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHi7cW4mJJFjY2H7KROAh4hcPrF00rtvtsmjF4z530FkcM4xD70JokAmgF-ss_aem_7Dleq1MsNeJ1hkkm2nHgPg

I follow UFOs and what I have noticed is that it’s going flat again. Big claims have been made by big people. Government and Military whistleblowers. Science says…..where is the proof? And it’s always the same line that it’s classified. It’s becoming a glass ceiling. Government will give it lip service but nothing of any substance actually happens.

Well said. For the Believing community, the PGF IS their champion. It's their hero. It is their best-case evidence to prove Bigfoot exists. For the Skeptic community their hero or Champion ends up being anything they perceived which disproves the PGF. For them, it's Longs book. Also, there are other things the lazy skeptics will latch on to This includes any news story about someone who came forward and confessed. It can be some story they heard where AI video analysis saw a bell pull zipper on the PGF suit. I would say the more believer scientific approach of people like Meldrum, Munns, Bindernagal, and so on have created a playing field where the skeptic or science skeptic will at least sit at the same table as the believing community. Just like UFO movies (Outer limits, Twilight zone, ET, Independence Day) have entertained the public they have also soften the public on the subject of UFOs. Now if the government wanted to spend 100 million dollars on some project involving the search for extra-terrestrial life the public accepts that as reasonable. The same thing has happened- at least a little bit- with Bigfoot. As Messin' with Sasquatch or Discovery channel puts Bigfoot in their mind they tend to soften the "Bigfoot is fake" position. To any extent these things help increase the serious nature of the subject, I consider it useful foolishness.

Makes sense but it's also common where I'm at to put out salt for legal hunting purposes. I'd say mainly as an attractant for your nearby game-camera so you can assess the animals that frequent the area. A block works, or just bags of water-softener salt. Like @PNWexplorersaid, once it's gone they will lick at the ground for years afterwards.

It’s fair to suspect once again “faces” are safe from being “melted”. Nothing “ face melting” about any revelation other than an initial hype. I’ll consider whatever is put forward but continue to suspect this is 1) no big deal if legit and 2) probably not legit

Desperation. But, really, just putting the headline out there sucks in and bolsters the spirits of their own tribe. Not much else.

I should have been more specific, stand alone forums are dying out. Reddit kind of smashes all the crazies, niche interests and paranormal stuff all into one thing and so Reddit scrolling can pull good numbers across topics. I agree 100% on the woke stuff, I tried to interact on there a few times in the past but left with an icky feeling each time.

I hate reddit and do not go there. It is toxic. If you aren't a part of the group think, they will crucify you at the altar of wokeness. However, they have enough sheeple to fill the barn.

This type of behavior, common and rampant throughout society in every venue, doesn't happen at Reddit? I'm asking sincerely because I don't know. I don't utilize that website.

Yes it’s forums, but it covers every subject under the sun. I am not sure how to replicate that here. We don’t have a feed with revolving posts. Posts that have nothing to do with each other? Norcal where are you going with this? Changes to the forum are the responsibility of the steering committee. If you have ideas to make this forum better? You are more than welcome to run it past them. Incorrigible is the SC chair. Shoot him a PM.

Reddit is a cesspool.

You must be an old guy.

I think we should be comparing apples to apples. The first Bigfoot forum I ever joined was the BFRO “blue room”. I was basically ran out of there for my pro kill stance, but whatever. It’s not the point. The point is that several years ago the BFRO shut down the blue room and opened up a Facebook page. They have 111 k members. Good for them. The hound hunting forum I belonged to? Gone. The jet boat forum called mean chicken…..gone. Along with the massive repository of knowledge. How does a very specific old school PHPBB board compete with Reddit or FB or the next great social platform? Good question.

Reddit Bigfoot has grown from 100K follows 2 years ago to 250K followers today. That isn't insignificant. Forums are as popular as ever, but something is askew with the recipe on this specific site. How many people actually post here in a month?
